Cutting electricity costs by 50%

Hmmmmm............but WHERE do those "renewables" come from?????

Lets see now...............


Eco windmills made from fiberglass, which is a derivative of fossil fuels.......OH MY!!! Along side metals which have to be MINED, smelted, and produced into working parts! Dear oh dear!
Lubricated and maintainted in working order with.......lets see now...........lubricants and plastic parts made from........OH MY!!! Derivitives of fossil fuels!!!

This power has to be transported via metal cables, which had to be mined and processed into electrical current conductors, and covered with non-electrical conducting polymers derived from..........OH MY! Again??? Yep.......fossil fuels.

And lets not forget all the the power structures, solar panels, and all the accessories that are NEEDED in order to create this "renewable energy"..........all made out of mined metals and plastics/rubbers produced from derivitives of FOSSIL FUELS!!!

And lets not forget all the employees who have to wear safety gear, most of which is created from dirivitives of fossil fuels.
And how about their transport vehicles that take them from home to work and from work to these windmills, or to the homes of where these solar panels are, when they need repairs? Mined metals and plastics/rubbers derived from..........YOU GUESSED IT..............FOSSIL FUELS!!!!

So WHO is the REAL waste of money and resources here?? Looks like all this eco bullshit to me.



OH!!!!!
And lets NOT forget the DESTRUCTION of FORESTS and the MASSIVE AMOUNTS of destroyed farmlands that have been converted to "wind farms", pretty much completely destroying area ecosystems of plants AND animals alike.

Lets also NOT forget about "solar fields" which are acres and acres and acres of solar panels used to collect solar radiation for powering electric generators.........all made from mined metals and plastics/rubbers derived from........yep, once again........FOSSIL FUELS.

And these solar panels collect so much HEAT during daylight hours, no human can be around them. And once again, destroyed a HUGE fucking area of land just to run a couple of generators for a few houses.


OH!!!
Lets not also forget the TOXIC WASTE solar panels cause, and what deadly toxins they are made of!!!!
And all the birds and bats that wind turbines destroy every year!!! MORE destruction of Mother Nature!!!!



Shall we once again calculate how much coal or natural gas would have to be burned to replace the power generated by those wind turbines? And perhaps this time we could calculate how much carbon dioxide and sooty particulate would be produced. And we could start the calculation with a tallying of how much steel and plastic and copper and dreaded insulation is required to build a fired power plant. And then we can throw in the waste heat the whole process generates.
 
Then why do we subsidize the oil industry with $2 billion per year?
One is a direct subsidization to the tax payer, the other is subsidizing an industry Synth
But yes, i'll agree w/you on the level of moral turpitude the best Congress $$$ can buy gains us all

and further state anything you hear from them is >>>>

renewables aren't going to 'cut costs' ......

fact is, renewables legislated through our government will most likely increase costs

you folks that don't think so should be doing the math......

Renewables cost less per kWh than fossil fuels ignoring subsidies. How is that not going to cut costs.

Because right now they are using fossil fuels as their "battery backup." Eventually their "battery backup" will have to go away to comply with government mandate of no electricity generation from fossil fuels by 2035 or is it 2050.

So you have to include the cost for real batteries to replace their current "battery backup" aka fossil fuels.

nope, not doing that.....


This admin has sold out to the green machine Crick, to the tune of more zero's than the taxpayer has ever granted it

the promise being cheap fuel

while lowering the deficit at the same time....

Meanwhile individual states like mine , who can smell the Fed's $$$, are going to either tax fossil fuels ,or impose penalties to obtain it

Anyone who can do the math can see the consequences of teir actions will end badly, as it has for other countries that went down this same road

Chargers almost always charge by the kWh, not by the hour.

"On average, it costs between $0.30- $0.60 kWh to charge an electric vehicle. Therefore, this means that a small car could cost about $11.50 to $23 to fully charge while a bigger or long-distance vehicle could cost between $22.50 to $45."

If, as you say, the EV gets 350 miles from that charge, even at the high end, that's $0.128/mile


An F350 pickup truck gets a combined mileage (unloaded) of 12.53 mpg. I'll be generous and say it gets 10 mpg with that trailer on there. If we're paying $3.50/gallon for gas, that's $0.35/mile.

how long do they wait for the recharge to return?

A gallon of gasoline contains approximately 33.7 kilowatt-hours of energy that can be released by burning it.

Paying 30¢ to 60¢ per kilowatt-hour for electricity to charge a car is equivalent to paying about $10 to $20 per gallon for gasoline.

the real question is whether or not the EV charging costs include road taxes and local taxes and county taxes and federal taxes. Want to know what drives the entire cost per gallon, let's at least charge the EV owners for the same taxes.
